Latest update:

Safety & security section (Crime) – in 2017, there have been incidents of lone women being sexually assaulted by men claiming to be motorbike taxi drivers in the Pub Street area of Siem Reap; you should be vigilant at all times, especially when walking alone; Entry requirements section (UK Emergency Travel Documents) – if you’re leaving the country using an ETD issued in Cambodia (and therefore containing no entry stamp), you must get an exit visa prior to departure

Incidents of politically-motivated violence have fallen in recent years but political rallies or disputes could trigger violent protests. Monitor local media closely and avoid all protests and demonstrations as they could turn violent. The commune (local) elections on 4 June 2017 passed smoothly and trouble-free.

Around 159,000 British nationals visited Cambodia in 2016. Most visits are trouble-free but there have been reports of assaults and robberies against foreigners. See Crime
